	This happens to me about 3-4 times when I first boot X.org.  It's like
	it goes into screensaver mode.  However, I can recover by just
	pressing any key, and the monitor will turn back on.  It will turn off
	my monitor about 3-4 times but then after that it goes back to normal
	and never happens again.

	I have posted to Bugzilla but have not gotten any replies. I am
	wondering if anyone is familiar with this problem:
	
	
	
	Description of problem:
	
	I have an error where the screen blacks out [seems to turn off all
	
	output to the monitor] after a certain period of time whether I am
	
	activly using my system or it is idle. I need to either restart the
	
	computer to regain functionality or SOMETIMES i can Ctrl-Alt-F7 or F8
	
	and it will switch back into the X session I had been running.
	
	Otherwise Ctrl-Alt-F1 doesnt even bring up the shell,
	
	Ctrl-Alt-Backspace doesnt restart X, and the keyboard seems to not
	
	function [i know this because no keyboard lights go on for Num/Caps
	
	lock]. It occurs after my installation of FC2 x86_64 today and I
	
	origianlly thought it may be the wrong monitor that I specificed, but
	
	I returned to generic and it still occurs. I am running a PCI ATI
	
	All-In-Wonder Radeon [i believe 7000 series] on a FC2 AMD Athlon64
	
	system with x86_64.
	
	
	
	Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
	
	default FC2 x86_64 release
	
	
	
	How reproducible:
	
	Always
	
	
	
	Steps to Reproduce:
	
	1. Install FC2 on x86_64
	
	2. Boot up X and logon
	
	3. Use the computer for 10-20 minutes or let it be idle and will find
	
	the screen go blank
	
	  
	
	
	
	Actual Results:  Screen goes blank. Usually keyboard is unrepsonsive
	
	to X restart commands or Shell keycodes.
	
	
	
	Expected Results:  X continue to function normally. No reason for the
	
	screen to go blank. The drivers and config SEEM to be correct as it
	
	takes time for this issue to occue.
	
	
	
	Additional info:
	
	
	
	Have tried to reconfigure the monitor display. Didnt work.
